Court and community.

I can't help but wonder, why do the courts speak as if they are deferring to our communities as a whole when the courts are, for all practical purposes, so far removed from the average member of the community that they are in fact strangers?

One only has to observe the calloused neglect of victims of crime in deference to the sickening obsession with the protection of the accused to see that the courts are willfully blind to the concerns of the community.
